Mondays are Idiosyncrasy 'Cos They Ain't 'Nuttin Else

I had a fine weekend in Scotland's capital seeing Lau on Saurday and then Shetland's Aly Bain, Appalachia's Bruce Molsky and Sweden's Ale Moller on Sunday. They were both immensely entertaining trios. Ale Moller was a tour de force. Here he is playing the Viking Cow horn.

He was absolutely excellent, Global. I don't think I had heard of him before but I would go see him again. Apparently he's quite a star of the Swedish folk scene. They were a great trio with songs and tunes from all over. Here's one from them there United States.

Tom Waits chose this piece by William S Burroughs in his programme with Iggy Pop yesterday - Burroughs, accompanied by piano and clarinet, performs 'Falling in Love Again', in German.

Some people are just too talented for their own good, eighth, don't you think. If I had one criticism of the vid it was that I would have liked to spend a bit more time with some of those images, but I didn't want the guitaring to stop. Thanks...most enjoyable.

Blue Monday today, apparently. Here's the only 'Blue Monday' I need to lift the spirits, written by the mighty Dave Bartholomew, and performed by the even mightier Fats.

Thanks John - a Classic.

So easy; just three chords; anybody could play that so relaxed piano. Not!
